Going back to my passion. I am so happy that I’m switching my major. I can’t wait to learn Italian, either!

“Do what you love. Don’t settle for less.”

3/5/13

These past three days have been amazing.This is just what I needed.

Last night, I think that was the most in tune I’ve been with myself, that I’ve felt within myself, for the first time in a long time. All because I was surrounded by people who understand. They listen and understand. We truly see each other, experience, feel, grow from each other; we learn. And it’s this overwhelming feeling of joy, warmth, expression…constantly growing. Knowing that other people can see this warmth in us…you just have to experience it, because the feeling is simply indescribable. 

And we stand here, naked, only showing ourselves, for what we really are, and not many people can look at us with their raw emotion/raw vision. I don’t really know how to explain it much more than just that. 

I just know that I have met extraordinary people who can see the world like this; just like I can. And it gives me a sense of belonging. I’m always questioning myself and talking with my friends gives me the the most calming sensation, to know that I’m not the only one who gets it. 

In that moment, I felt infinite.

Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing.., the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications.

I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.
